Yes. There are some of the old hymnals being reprinted. The great Roman Catholic English hymnal "The Westminster Hymnal" was reprinted not too long ago. It is a treasure with some of R.R. Terry's best work.

Also, the 2 editions of the St. Basil's Hymnal contained marvellous music which I would use from time to time. The St. Pius X Hymnal (Having nothing to do with the SSPX) had many great settings. The setting in the St. Pius X Hymnal of "Hail, Holy Joseph, Hail" is the best festal and congregational setting one could find.

I did forget one contemporary hymnal of note -- by the nuns in Summit, New Jersey. I recall it being entitled "The Summit Hymnal" Before my latest sojourn I left that with my daughter-in-law.

Isn't there someone on FreeRepublic from CanticaNova? Theirs is a great online resource (hope I recall that name correctly).

I have an old copy of the Westminster Hymnal lying around somewhere. VERY English!
